Summer Holidays (by sarah)
I feel I have slightly failed with the school holidays - I had lots of things planned but in the first week the first three things I attempted to do with Jean where grand failures :/
First off I had planned that she could join a library and we would go once a week during to holidays so we went off to Painswick only to see the library didn't open on Mondays (I should have looked closer at this point but I didn't). I thought never mind lets go to the Museum in the Park in Stroud but when we got there it turned out Mondays was like a special club day and it wasn't open 🙁
Me and Jean looked at the swans and ducks on the lake instead and played wind in the willows.
Then the next day we tried the library again only to find that it is shut perminantly due to public health reasons - now I knew it had been shut a while ago but had assumed it had been fixed :/
Mum and Dad rescued this second day of failure by taking us to Pizza Hut.
The third day I took Jean to Prim Rose Vale Farm Shop where I passed out crushing her ice-cream and having to go to hospital before she had gotten even five minutes on the toys :/
We were doing home school which Jean loves but she loves it too much and just got too tired and haven't really done any for two weeks now :/
I did manage to take her to the Wearable Art Parade in Painswick and she went to the Docks with mum and dad and to Tweksberry. But I found that I had miscalculated and we had run out of money so I couldn't take to the cinamar or to any of the museums :/
I have also failed to organise friends to come and play as they have all been on holiday 🙁
She did however really enjoy the Village Feast 🙂 all two days of it! With lots of her school friends about!
We are starting to gear up making the decorations for her party and her cousins are visiting this week which is more the sort of thing I was expecting. We also have the Boundary Walk at the weekend which she always enjoys 🙂
People are now starting to appear to ask Jean round to play which is good - but I do feel I have failed slightly with organising a good holiday for her and she has been bored and I'm afraid very naughty 🙁

Sounds like you are Winning anyway.
Stuff always falls thru' and you seem to have enough planned that there's always something to do.
How many more weeks are there left?

We're basically half way I think :/ They go back on the 4th of September I think. Alaric say's I had too much stuff planned anyway :/
